FCE - Final Cut Express is an easier Mac video editing application than Final Cut Pro, and many professionals and also beginners are using Final Cut Express to do video editing on Mac. FEC supports pretty much the same video formats as iMovie, including MOV, DV, MP4, HDV etc. MKV has become a quite common HD video format, if you want to edit MKV on Mac with FCE, you will need a Mac MKV to FEC converter, because MKV is obviously not supported by FCE.

Launch MKV to Final Cut Express Converter, Click the “Add File” button to select the MKV videos you want to import to FCE from your hard drive.

The final step: Click on the big Start button to start the conversion of MKV to FCE. By default, the folder where the converted files are saved will be opened right after the conversion.
